The worst part is that all of those ladies are air traffic controllers trying to make ends meet.

I'm glad you are keeping track of the framing. I unsubscribed from the NYT months ago, after decades of subscribing.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Calling This Court “Supreme” Is Obeying in Advance

When will legal elites stop passing off tyranny in robes as the rule of law?

Sharp, sharp, sharp: Neguse reframes to reality, makes it ALL ABOUT the RULE OF LAW. Notice how many times he uses the word "law". This is an excellent model for other Dems.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Surely not. Someone else is tweeting while Criminal Prez goes for the gluttony at the Halloween Great Gatsby food fest for his billionaire buds at Mar-A-Lago. They're feeling the heat as Americans don't want the struggling to starve.

And (almost Nov.) my outside plants have not yet died.
But Criminal Prez tells us climate change isn't real, and that GAS and OIL must be prioritized.
The GOP thinks we are all stupid and the party is robbing our children & grandchildren of a healthy habitat.

According to this witness, these persons being assaulted by ICE were not protesters, but the driver (and passenger?) in the car that had rear-ended the ICE vehicle.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

Lessons from the Nuremberg Trials of 1946, when Nazi leaders were tried for their crimes against humanity. “I followed orders” and “I didn’t know” were not accepted. Lest that pattern of government cruelty, crime & corruption repeat here #DefendTheConstitution #HistoryMatters 🇺🇸

ICE’s undercover officers in plainclothes abducted Sindi Moreno while she was leaving to drop her daughter off at elementary school in Houston. The agent in civilian clothing assaulted and attempted to kidnap Sindi as she and her child desperately fought him off.

“ 'The bread I buy has doubled in price within a year. We live on a fixed income that doesn’t keep up with inflation,' said Myron Peeler, who... is the sole caregiver for his wife, who suffers from debilitating arthritis. The only saving grace, he said, was that his house and car are paid off."

"'Prices are way too high. I mostly shop at Costco and buy as little as possible anywhere else,' said Jean Meadows, a 74-year-old retiree who lives in Huntsville, Alabama. 'I can’t imagine that stores haven’t noticed the change. I think people are really afraid of what is coming.'"

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”
